The best photographer and videographer team in the industry!

Ellie and Taylor are the best in the buisness! We hired Ellie and Taylor for our daughter's wedding last weekend. Ellie and Taylor we absolutely amazing, they were everywhere the whole entire day, from getting ready, the limo ride, the church ceremony, the venue they captured the entire wedding from start to finish!

Their communication, their vision, and their photos are spectular. Ellie brought Andrea's vision to life and soon we can relive the entire day with the wedding video over and over again.

We started communicating with Ellie about a year before the wedding, Ellie has a questionaire, she studies the bride and groom! She wants to gets to know the couple she is photographing! When we saw the engagement photos Ellie took we knew she is truly the best photographer in the industry!

It was a pleasure working with Ellie and her team! We highly recommend them!

If you need a photographer Ellie McKinney was recommended to us over and over again. We are so glad we chose Ellie and her team!

Unique and edgy, yet timeless

Ellie was first recommended to me by my wedding planner, Aneesa Glines (Harmony Weddings), after I described the overall vibe I was going for for my wedding-- classic, romantic, with a flair of modern. Ellie’s photos immediately caught my eye because not only were they unique and edgy, but they were also timeless. I didn’t want the typical engagement/wedding photographs with the cheesy poses or overdone backdrops, and Ellie was the perfect fit to make magic happen! She is so sweet and down to earth and was able to get my now husband to actually enjoy having photos taken and got him out of his awkward poses. Our engagement photos received so many compliments from friends and family because they were unique and we also looked so natural which is all thanks to Ellie! At our wedding this past weekend, Ellie was able to capture every photo we could have ever wanted and was so flexible as we were saying hi to all our guests and getting impromptu photos during it. She also worked beyond seamlessly with our other vendors and was able to help guide the day in such a smooth manner. So much so that I never noticed what all was going on to get the shots and was just able to relax and do my own thing while knowing Ellie was capturing everything I wanted at the same time. The sneak peeks we were given are absolute perfection and have me SO excited to see the rest of the album and get to relive the best night ever every time we look at them! I so look forward to working with Ellie to capture more of our life moments after our wedding. Hire her!!!
